a type of neuron that connects sensory and motor neurons and carries stimuli in the brain and spinal cord.
An association neuron; neurons inside the central nervous system that are interposed between sensory and motor neurons.
A neuron that connects with and transmits information only to local neurons.
Neuron that is neither purely sensory nor motor but connects and interfaces between other neurons, see also Sensory neuron, Motor neuron
a connecting Neuron that lies between sensory and motor neurons
a nerve cell that interacts exclusively with other neurons
a neuron, located in the central nervous system, that relays information between sensory neurons and motor neurons
in-ter-NURE-on A neuron that connects one neuron to another to integrate information from many sources and to coordinate responses. 611
One of several neurons in a neuronal circuit, usually relatively small and with only a short axonal travel. Frequently inhibitory by nature, so that they act as negative feedback devices (as, for example, with Renshaw cells). Inhibitory interneurons in the spinal grey are involved in the alpha-gamma control system, where they are responsible for reducing the output from a given alpha motor neuron whenever the muscle being controlled by that neuron is determined to be contracting too vigorously.
A neuron that is neither purely sensory nor motor, but that connects other neurons.
A nerve cell found entirely within the nervous system that acts as a link between sesnory and motor neurons.
A type of neuron that connects only with other neurons and thus delivers information only between neurons.
A neuron that transmits information from at least one neuron to at least one other neuron. Interneurons in humans are characteristic of the central nervous system.
Any neuron that only sends its messages locally (within a millimeter or so). Many are inhibitory.
An interneuron (also called relay neuron,association neuron or bipolar neuron) is a term used to describe a neuron which has two different common meanings.
